Do you display your polling engine statistics on your main page? When was the last database update & database sync?

quote: when the problem occurs i can only ping the default gateway 192.168.15.1 i can't go over but i can ping the others computers in 192.168.15.XX; the other computers in 192.168.15.XX can ping nodes out of the 192.168.15.XX Sounds like an issue with your computer. What OS are you running and how many NICs do you have…

Open the System Manager and right-click the node in question, choose Node Details and click the 'UnManage' button. The rest should be pretty simple.

Thanks. That worked perfectly.

What happens if you rediscover the node?

What are the vendor IDs of the devices you listed?

I think the image name 1234.gif is being updated with every poll of the device. I think you could easily create an update trigger that would handle this. www.devarticles.com/.../

Whoops....my bad.

You can change this easily enough. Open the database via Enterprise Manager and go to the Nodes table. Change the field "VendorIcon" to the icon you want. Icons can be found here... X:\Inetpub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon\images\Vendors Where 'X' is the drive you installed Orion on.

Looks somewhat like the problem I'm having. If I download a config with Cirrus it looks okay but if I take that config and try to paste it into another switch via CLI it gets pasted as one long string. It acts like the line breaks/carriage returns are not present.

8.5 upgrade from what?

I haven't started using 8.0 yet but there is not option for GetTable?

A port query should be pretty easy to do. support.microsoft.com/default.aspx Now if they would only build this into Orion....

I'll ask for the impossible.... Support for other database systems (Oracle, MySQL, ...). A rewrite of all the ASP code to PHP (PHP is much faster IMO and has tons of free add-ons).

I haven't used Orion with SQL 2005 but I have used Cirrus with 2005 with no problems. I've even imported into Cirrus(SQL 2005) from Orion(SQL 2000) without any problems.

I would double check your SNMP strings to make sure they are correct.

Better Net-SNMP support -- needed badly.

I would love to have the ability (easily) to create tooltips for the nodes on our maps (similar to the tooltips found on Netflix).

The ability to change the ifAdminStatus of interfaces from the "Node Details Page". As of right now I have to log into every switch/router when I want to turn a port on or off, which we do quite often. (Edit: I see this is available from the Engineer's Toolset) Also, the ability to save the running configuration to the…

How many nodes, interfaces and volumes are you monitoring? If you're over a certain number of devices it is highly recommended to move your SQL Sever to a dedicated machine. Also, you might need a second polling engine. We're currently looking at these two options and our numbers are: 478 Nodes, 11412 Interfaces, 127…

Did you make a copy of your database?

Thanks Ryan. That will come in handy.

I would love to see this added in a future release as well.

Thanks.

I believe the file in question is encoded at the moment (/NetPerfMon/view.asp), but that is where the code is that handles this section of the pages. I believe the next version (8.1) of Orion will not have the pages encoded (don't quote me on this) but if that is the case you should be able to easily edit this out.

Try a..... Response.Write("***** " & ${NodeID} & " *****") You should see the NodeID printed to the screen between ***** [Your Node ID Here] ***** Something to keep in mind. Every Custom NodeID or Interface ID can be referenced this way...as well as existing fields in the database.

If the database was already attached to your SQL Server then installing v8 should have created the new rows...etc. You could always uninstall v8 and install v7. Make sure it's working correctly. Once it is then uninstall v7 and install v8 and then run through the configuration wizard. When you get to the database part…

Did you attach the database to the SQL server before or after you installed v8?
